The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

In a blink of an eye, it has been five days since Ru Yue traveled to this dynasty. She has been busy with her livelihood these days and has not carefully explored the situation here. After all, the original owner's memory was just the work of the villagers. Except for the back mountain, she had never even left the village. How could she know anything about this dynasty and country?

Thinking of this, Ru Yue missed her original life even more. High-rise buildings, cars, mobile phones, televisions... these can only become dream-like memories. She can't go back, and she is afraid that she will never be able to go back... She walked alone on the way back to the village, thinking about her past life and the present. She felt sad for a moment, but she was optimistic by nature and quickly adjusted her mood. This place is not bad. At least she has the relatives she wanted in her previous life.

"In my previous life, I was able to become the 'White Bone Demon' who stirred up chaos in the business world. How could I still be inferior to others in this barbaric and backward ancient times?" She muttered to herself as if swearing an oath, "I must become the richest woman in this dynasty."

As soon as she finished saying this, she felt as if a heavy shackle had been lifted off her shoulders. She felt relaxed and her steps became lighter.

The two little kids at home were still well-behaved, and the thatched cottage was still shabby and low. Looking at the cruel reality, Ru Yue could not help but sigh once again, "The road ahead is long and arduous, and we must keep searching!"

She walked into the thatched hut, sat sideways on the plank bed, lifted Ruxue's hand and gently removed the cloth bandage. Seeing that the wound was no longer as red and swollen as yesterday, she was completely relieved. She made an excuse to get some medicine and went outside to get some spiritual spring water. She put some in a bamboo tube and some in a coarse porcelain bowl. She took it internally and externally, thinking that the wound would heal faster.

Xiao Ruxue looked at her busy sister and said pitifully, "It's all Xue'er's fault. If I hadn't been bitten by a snake, we could have picked flowers yesterday and today, and we could have made a lot of money."

Seeing the little girl about to cry, Ru Yue bandaged the wound and gently held the skinny little hand, "Who said our Xiaoxue'er is a bad person? Sister will be the first one who won't forgive him, isn't it brother who said that? Sister will beat him to avenge my precious sister, okay?" As she said that, she made a gesture to hit Meng Anping.

"Sister, don't hit my brother. He didn't bully me. I just feel useless." When Xiao Ruxue saw her sister was going to hit her brother, she immediately struggled to stand up and stop her.

Ruyue and Anping smiled at each other and quickly pushed little Ruxue back onto the bed. "Sister was just teasing you. Lie down quickly."

She pulled Anping to sit beside the bed and gave the two children an ideological education lesson for the first time. "Anping, Xueer, have we ever had enough to eat in that home all these years? When was there a day when we were not beaten and scolded? Even when our parents were alive, was there a day when we didn't work on an empty stomach and get beaten and scolded?" She suppressed her smile and stared into her brother and sister-in-law's eyes. Fear and worry unconsciously appeared in the eyes of the two children.

"Now that we've left the den of the Meng family, even though we can only live in this straw hut, we've had enough to eat these past few days, and no one's been beating or scolding us. Aren't we happy?"

Both children nodded their heads unconsciously.

"Now the three of us are together, loving each other. What could be better than this? A harmonious family brings prosperity. Our new home is so harmonious, how could it not prosper?" Meng Ruyue preached to the two children with the same attitude she had used in her past life to encourage her team to expand into the market. "They say that when people are united, mountains can be moved. If our family works together, how can we not live a good life?"

Hope appeared in the eyes of the two children.

"So, we should love each other more, be more considerate and tolerant of each other, and not always blame others or ourselves. Don't you agree?" She tried her best to speak to the two children in words they could understand.

"Sister, I understand." Anping said as if he was making an oath, "As long as we are good to each other, care about each other, think in the same direction, and work together, we will get better and better." The child, who looked thinner than his actual age, pursed his lips tightly, opened his eyes wide, and waited for his sister to nod.

"Anping is right, that's exactly what he meant."

"Sister, I understand. I won't blame myself or anyone else anymore." Xiao Ruxue smiled for the first time in two days. "I'll heal quickly so I can help you and your brother make money and live a good life."

Meng Ruyue smiled knowingly, bent down and took the two caring children into her arms. At this moment, the hearts of the three siblings were finally close together.

"You will never guess what my sister brought back from the town this time."

Both children stared at her with wide eyes, their clear eyes full of hope.

"Close your eyes and open your little mouth."

The two children did as they were told without a doubt. Ru Yue was deeply moved by their complete trust.

I pinched two small pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and put them into the two children's mouths. Then their eyes lit up, and the light even illuminated the simple and dark hut.

"So sweet!" the two children said in unison. "This is sweet osmanthus cake. I saw Wenxiu from my uncle's family eat it."

"Sister, eat too." Little Ruxue picked up a piece with her uninjured hand and held it to Ruyue's mouth. "Sister, eat too. We should share happiness and hardships together."

Meng Ruyue took the candy cake handed over by her sister, and tears welled up in her eyes. It was the first time in two lifetimes that someone told her that happiness is hard to share. There was no curse or vow, nor any guarantee. Just such a simple sentence, she knew that this time she had a family, a real family.

"Sister, this candy cake is very expensive. I've heard so from my aunt as well." Anping savored the rare sweetness and said uneasily, "We have nothing now, not even this thatched cottage..." His voice became smaller and smaller. Thinking that he was the only man in the family, yet his elder sister and youngest sister didn't even have a place to live, he blamed himself and couldn't continue.

Seeing her brother like this, Ru Yue took out the thirteen taels of silver she had earned today to calm the two children's uneasy hearts, "Look, what is this?" Then she took out the one and a half taels of silver she had earned before.

"Is this really all ours?" Anping asked in disbelief, "Do we have so much silver?"

"I've never seen so much silver before." Xiao Ruxue exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, put it away quickly. If grandma sees it, it will be snatched away again."

Back in the day, when we were in Old Meng's house, my parents were honest people, unlike my two uncles who knew how to save some money. Later, they wanted to save a few cents to buy some candies for their children, but they couldn't do it. Even if they earned a penny, it would be taken away by that damn old woman. How could they ever see any money?

"We should eat and drink now, and focus on getting well. We'll save some money and then go buy this piece of land from the village head and build a big house." Ru Yue comforted them. "Put your hearts back in your stomachs and grow up well. Sister will earn money to support the family."

Seeing the two children completely relieved, Ru Yue said mysteriously, "Maybe after tonight there will be someone to help me with the work."

The curiosity of the two children was successfully aroused once again, but Ru Yue did not answer again, but just smiled with pursed lips.

After the hour of Hai, Xiao Ruxue could no longer hold on and fell asleep. Seeing that his sister was sitting by the stove that had long been extinguished and refused to sleep, Anping insisted on staying with her despite being very sleepy. He always remembered what his mother had told him when she was alive. He was the only boy in the family and he must take good care of his elder sister and youngest sister. He was the support of the two girls in the future. Now that their mother was gone, protecting their elder sister and taking good care of their youngest sister became his last words that he would keep for the rest of his life.

The hour of Hai was almost over, and the chirping of insects did not break the silence of the entire village. Instead, it made the night even quieter. The occasional barking of a dog or two added a sense of peace to people's minds.

Just when Meng Ruyue thought her suspicion was wrong and was about to go back to sleep, a rustling sound came from the darkness. It had finally arrived.

The sound became clearer and clearer, and two dark shadows came closer. They were none other than Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu, but this time they didn't have the arrogance of the previous day, and they hung their heads like sick chickens.

"Are you here?" Meng Ruyue didn't even bother to greet him. "Please sit down."

The two did as they were told without saying a word.

"Now you know I didn't lie to you, right?"

"What do you want? Draw a line, and we two brothers will do what we can without hesitation." Zhang Erqiang's face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his weak tone revealed his lack of confidence.

"Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." Meng Ruyue directly stated the plan she had already made up her mind. "You will do something for me for three years. If anyone in the village targets my sister or me in the future, you and your families must stand by us unconditionally. During these three years, I will give you the antidote on time. At the end of the three years, I will completely cure you of the poison."

"You want us to work for you as long-term laborers?" Ma Xiaoliu became anxious when he heard this. Killing people is not enough. Not only will he be killed, but his family will also be killed?

"Of course, I won't let you do the work for free. I will pay you for any hard work you put in."

"Do you keep your word?" Zhang Erqiang was still more patient than Ma Xiaoliu.

"Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow."

"Okay, we promise you." Zhang Erqiang said fiercely, "But if you don't keep your word, I won't let you and your sister-in-law go even if it means risking my own life."

"Brother Erqiang, are we just going to let her control us like this?" Ma Xiaoliu growled unwillingly.

"We don't want to die, and neither do they. We've been living in the village for years, living on the sidelines, despised by everyone. Maybe a different way of life would be better. If it's not better, it's just a miserable life. We can exchange two lives for their three, so it's worth it."

"I promise you won't regret it." Meng Ruyue said firmly.

"Antidote." Ma Xiaoliu said unhappily.

Meng Ruyue took out two pills she had prepared in advance and placed them in Ma Xiaoliu's hand. "The first thing I want you to do is to start making thatch tomorrow. Build another thatched shed next to this hut. A bundle of dry firewood costs five cents, and a bundle of thatch will cost you three cents."

"Okay." After saying that, the two of them disappeared into the darkness without looking back.

"Sister, why do we need to build another straw hut?" Meng Anping really didn't want to waste a penny.

"Anping, 'Boys and girls should not sit together at the same table after they are seven years old'. You are already eight years old. You will need to go to school in the future. Otherwise, you might be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble. It is better to take precautions early." As the night deepened, Ru Yue pulled Anping into the straw hut to sleep.

"Sister, you and my younger sister have suffered so much. I can't let you suffer again for my studies. I can work and earn money to support you."

"Silly Anping, Sister will go and earn money. Making money is not difficult, but keeping the money you earn is the real difficulty." In the dark night, Ru Yue instilled in her brother the importance of studying, "You must remember, only when you become stronger can we live a better life."

Meng Ruyue knew very well that in this feudal society where men were superior to women, merchants were still the lowest class.
